Tysk luftværnsbunker - Hirsholmen, Denmark - World War II Sites on Waymarking.com

Tysk bunker og luftværnsstilling - FLAK - på Hirsholm i Kattegat. Der har været 2 bunkers på Hirsholmen under krigen. En tredje bunker af lignende type lå på øen Deget tættere på Frederikshavn. Det er dem, man stadig kan se resterne af. Ingen af de to bunkers har været udstyret med særlig store kanoner, men der har været 20 mm luftværnskanoner. Dansk model MADSEN. De var monteret på støbte platforme, ligesom projektøren eller lyskasteren kaldet LUZI.

Bemandingen var 12-20 mand pr. bunker. Indkvarteret i nærliggende barak.

Bunkeren udgør et af de østligste punkter på fæstningslinjen Atlanterhavsvolden, der skulle beskytte mod allieret invasion på dan danske vestkyst. Fæstningslinjen startede her ved Frederikshavn gik nord om Skagen og ned langs den jyske Vestkyst.

Der er ikke adgang til selve bunkeren, men man er velkommen til at undersøge det ydre af anlægget. Som i følge de lokale skulle være et fantastisk sted at nyde solnedgangen.

English: German bunker and air defense position - FLAK - on Hirsholm in the Kattegat. There have been 2 bunkers on Hirsholmen during the war. A third bunker of a similar type was located on the island Deget closer to Frederikshavn. These are the ones you can still see the remains of. Neither of the two bunkers has been equipped with particularly large cannons, but there have been 20 mm anti-aircraft guns. Danish model MADSEN. They were mounted on cast platforms, just like the projector or headlight called LUZI.

The staff was 12-20 men per. bunker. Accommodated in nearby barracks.

The bunker is one of the easternmost points on the fortress line Atlanterhavsvolden, which was to protect against Allied invasion on the Danish west coast of Denmark. The fortress line started here at Frederikshavn went north of Skagen and down the Jutland West Coast.

There is no access to the bunker itself, but you are welcome to inspect the exterior of the facility. Which according to the locals should be a great place to enjoy the sunset.
